SECTIONAL VIEW OF ROBINSON LOCOMOTIVE SUPERHEATER, A TYPE. being of German origin, means are beingfound in many parts of the world to dis-pense with appliances of German manu-facture or invention. As to the meritsor demerits of the various superheatersin use it is not necessary for us at pres-ent to make comment. The superiormerits of what is known as the smoke-tube are generally acknowledged, and inthese the variations are merely in mattersof detail in construction. Such appara-tus in nearly every case, is arranged togive a high degree of superheat. In con-tradistinction to superheaters of thesmoke-box class, in which merely theheat remaining in the waste fire gases isutilized, smoke-tube superheaters alwaysreceive the direct heat from the fire, sothat the steam circulating within the ap-paratus reaches a comparatively hightemperature. The economy resulting from Mr. J. C. Robinson, the chief mechanicalengineer of the Great Central Railway ofEngland, is one of the high degree smoke-tu
